Law360 bargaining team celebrates a late-night contract agreement

Strike over! Law360 Union reaches transformative contract deal

Unionized editorial workers at LexisNexis-owned Law360 have reached a tentative five-year contract deal that, among many gains, lifts wages by an average of 12%, increases family leave to 14 weeks, includes an average bonus of $9,000 and ensures strong job protections on AI and more.

Guild members will decide whether or not to ratify the deal in a vote scheduled for September 23. The Law360 Union bargaining committee recommends that members ratify the deal.

Newsletter: We’re on strike at Law360!

Our members at Law360 are on an unfair labor practice strike this morning and I’m on the train to rally with them in New York this afternoon.

Management, led by LexisNexis Vice President Teresa Harmon, continues to demand that union members accept paltry raises that fail to seriously address rising costs of living and dramatically increased costs for healthcare. Throughout bargaining management has repeatedly dismissed the impact of inflation on members as irrelevant to negotiations about wages. All while refusing to agree to the union’s reasonable demands that the company remedy its March 2024 unlawful layoff of 26 union-represented workers.
